If you are considering a platrack I'd suggest getting some twine and shellac ready. I recently treated myself to the platrack/SlickerSack combination, which I love btw, and then noticed a couple of areas on my down tube where the paint had been chipped off. Since there was a spot on both sides of the tube I was puzzled at first, then it hit me...it's the platrack.
As you can see in the images the platrack can make contact with the down tube, at least on a 66cm Quickbeam. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mgps-bob/sets/72157623379790433/ I guess I should have figured out that this would happen but frankly it never occurred to me till after the damage was done. It is, of course, a perfect opportunity for twine and shellac and I'll be doing taking care of that just as soon as I can. Sigh. And, does anyone know the match for Quickbeam silver paint? Aloha!
